I like Elderley also. I've never bought an instrument from them, but I have purchased a lot of supplies, books and videos. They also have a tremendous CD catalog with music and artists that are very hard to find elsewhere.

Denny Ryan was there the day I went to Mandolin Brothers, and Stan as well. Very pleasant guys and so helpful. I'm taking my Gibson there soon for a set-up job, they inspired THAT much trust in me.
